Pull initial ksmbd implementation from Steve French:
 "Initial merge of kernel smb3 file server, ksmbd.

  The SMB family of protocols is the most widely deployed network
  filesystem protocol, the default on Windows and Macs (and even on many
  phones and tablets), with clients and servers on all major operating
  systems, but lacked a kernel server for Linux. For many cases the
  current userspace server choices were suboptimal either due to memory
  footprint, performance or difficulty integrating well with advanced
  Linux features.

  ksmbd is a new kernel module which implements the server-side of the
  SMB3 protocol. The target is to provide optimized performance, GPLv2
  SMB server, and better lease handling (distributed caching). The
  bigger goal is to add new features more rapidly (e.g. RDMA aka
  "smbdirect", and recent encryption and signing improvements to the
  protocol) which are easier to develop on a smaller, more tightly
  optimized kernel server than for example in Samba.

  The Samba project is much broader in scope (tools, security services,
  LDAP, Active Directory Domain Controller, and a cross platform file
  server for a wider variety of purposes) but the user space file server
  portion of Samba has proved hard to optimize for some Linux workloads,
  including for smaller devices.

  This is not meant to replace Samba, but rather be an extension to
  allow better optimizing for Linux, and will continue to integrate well
  with Samba user space tools and libraries where appropriate. Working
  with the Samba team we have already made sure that the configuration
  files and xattrs are in a compatible format between the kernel and
  user space server.

  Various types of functional and regression tests are regularly run
  against it. One example is the automated 'buildbot' regression tests
  which use the Linux client to test against ksmbd, e.g.

     http://smb3-test-rhel-75.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com/#/builders/8/builds/56

  but other test suites, including Samba's smbtorture functional test
  suite are also used regularly"
